The new generation Audi A4 has an exemplary balance and style. It can be handled to perfection by seasoned auto drivers as its inherent ‘Audi Modular Longitudinal Platform' strengthens the classic coupe build appreciably. However, buying a used car is not always easy. The best way to go about it would be to visit the one of the best Audi Greensboro garages and check out the pros and cons of the models on offer.

It makes sense to look into the navigational system and be satisfied with its engine start up button. Noting the tip-top condition of the stereo as well as the xenon lights that happen to be adaptive is an added advantage. However, the climatic controls and the auto lights require close inspection especially when you will be paying good money for an automobile that has been used for long.

You might also take a look at the Audi A4 Avant as well as the sedan variations of Audi while you are in the market for buying used cars. Find out if the turbocharged engine of 4 cylinders runs on auto transmission or whether the ‘Quattro All Wheel Drive’ is compromised. Do make sure to request an Audi repair otherwise. Sure, you may find a few units with a front-wheel drive only but a manual transmission is definitely difficult to come across.

Well, you may be hell-bent on getting an Audi A4 but it is always advisable to check each feature alongside its closest competitor. The Cadillac ATS and the Mercedes C-Class have a lot of features in common with the Audi you fancy so it would be rest to check it for fuel efficiency and strength before giving the go ahead. Here are a few more things to do before you drive the used Audi home.

Test-Drive

Sure, the dealer will be apprising you with the details of the car. However, it is always best to check it yourself. Do get inside the Audi and check whether the push-button enabled engine system happens to be working perfectly. The keyfobs need to perfect as well. Feel free to ask the dealer to inspect the batteries and repair or replace them if they seem to be weak. Otherwise you run a risk of destroying the smart-key feature of your Audi A4 system.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

There may be multiple issues cropping up later on. It is recommended to ask for a PPI prior to purchasing the used car. You can take it to the nearest garage to get it checked thoroughly by a certified technician for identifiable trouble points. The technician would be sure to check the entire fuel system and coolant pump for you. A faulty steering system along with a defective ignition coil can be discovered at the earliest too and you would do well to request a repair and replacement of the less-than-perfect parts by the seller before you take ownership of the vehicle.

Unfortunately, a few consumers have reported more oil consumption by AudiA4s especially those equipped with 2.0T engines. Make sure to discuss this aspect with the car dealer before finalizing the purchase.
